Sorry you're not feeling well, finchelover. I've been busy working more than usual, husband had 2 double hernia surgery Wed and I'm trying to get paperwork done to sell DD's condo next week while she's out of state. (POA, a storage unit for the rest of the stuff in the condo, etc.) DD #2 is coming in this weekend for her birthday, so have to clean, grocery shop, cook, etc. A woman's work is never done.....

No snow in my neck of the woods ( sad face)...

But I'm carrying 5 college credits that are kicking my butt with the work load, exams, reading, etc. Then I have an machine applique side-job (I'm appliqueing 4" greek letters and numbers onto jackets and t-shirts) I've been busy with. Then girl scout cookie booths and meetings, and we've added dance classes this week, and the list goes on! and on! and on!

I still need to photograph the wedding quilt, but I also need time to sit at a laundromat to get it washed before gifting... When to do that with 4 kids in tow??

And next week I get to look forward to DH travelling to Minnesota Wed-Saturday late. Oh Joy!

I would also like to work on a challenge quilt that has an ever-approaching deadline... Have grandeous plans that may not be achievable...

That's where I've been... remember, you asked first!!

Sometimes all the threads are helenh so I have kind of stopped monopolizing things. I do have a new grass from Ozark Nursery. Jet Streams dwarf pampas grass. The tag says hardy to zone 6. I bought one for me and one for my neighbor. I am going to ask the neighbor to check on my animals when I visit my sister. My link shows it. I did not pay $30 like the link price. Mine were reasonably priced. Here is a link that might be useful: Jet Streams grass

Occasionally I'm here too. Just lurking, learning and being entertained. I've not had a garden the past 2 summers but am planning to have a small, but nice one this year. I hope at least some of my good 'older' tomato seeds will germinate for me, since I acquired such a nice collection. I'm planning to start seeds quite early to allow time for starting more later in case of bad or 'no' germination. Back in 2009 I developed an addiction to collecting, growing and exhibiting daffodils and now have about 1000 different named cultivars and add to them each fall. There are approximately 25,000 known named cultivars, so collecting them will keep me busy for quite a while. Maybe some tomato lovers would like to attend a daffodil show (or two) if there is a show nearby. See link below. I'm planning on hitting at least 5 shows (maybe more) so maybe I'll see you there.

Are the forum members banned to post here! LOL I do not think so. They may be found some other forums that they like. Some users liked old gardenweb than the houzz. I enjoy to read posts, look users' plants/pods and share my experiences that's why I am here,

"... what we have here is a contretemps between gardening/landscaping solely for a visual appeal from the street or following the best practices for the health of the plant(s) in question." What you're describing with caution is a general truth about the pruning of all trees: the longer one waits to prune, the larger the wound will be and longer it takes to heal. There is nothing particularly problematic about pruning Magnolia ... certainly not to the point that one should not do it. And the caution about flowering has more to do with pruning the top of the tree, not the bottom. And as long as one catches it within a reasonable time of bloom finish, they are going to be OK with next year's flowering. Nevertheless, how one views the tree from the street is certainly not the main or only consideration. Here's a tree in a grass lawn, which means that one needs to mow below it. What a pain to do as one would need to stoop or crouch for most of the job! And the tree's not enhancing architecture when it's obscuring it! There are no trees that we bring into our yards without deciding that some of their bottom limbs must be removed in order that their structural form comply with our needs (that there is space below them) unless we intentionally leave them in the shrub form, which we commonly don't because most yards are not large enough to have such monsters. The trunk system of a multi-trunk tree forms a cone-shaped trunk structure. It can be a wide spreading, flattish cone (as in the Magnolia here), it can be a tallish, narrow cone (as how many new crape myrtles come from the "factory") or it can be anywhere in between. The fact is, that it's up to the tree owners to create the spread and it is far better to do when the tree is young. It's not different than training a child or a puppy. One cultivates out the bad habits in youth so they do not carry on to adulthood where they are much harder to fix, and at some point, impossible. (I would not consider this tree impossible yet, but it's certainly approaching it.)

Hope the doctors can get you feeling better soon.

I was on vacation in Hawaii for three weeks, worked for three days, and then left for New York for a five day trip. I had the opportunity to sing with a chorus of 290 voices and a bluegrass band at Carnegie Hall. Wow, what a great experience.

Now back to reality - cold and snowy Minnesota.

You know I looked at all the old dates on the threads when I logged on this morning, and thought something was wrong with GW, then chuckled. I've been absent too.
